GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Omg you should plan to visit California. You would love the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It's such a gorgeous aquarium. There's an exhibit upstairs where there's plastic that was turned into art. In the gift shop we got stuff that's made out of recycled plastic.

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra.

I have a Mabel.

list of banned keywords

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

You say: they shutdown USAID.

You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

I shall be delighted by the report of the Seattle bus driver denying ICE access to his bus and saying, "Gargle my balls" because I am extremely juvenile and easily amused. 🀭 #brucecoffman loves you! Gargle my balls!

It continues to amuse me in a really unfunny way when people want authors to be quiet about politics (ditto: athletes, entertainers, etc). Like 1) many of our very existences are political (I don't exist according to the new administration! Plot twist!). 2) ART IS INHERENTLY POLITICAL.

The subheading is so inaccurate on this it KILLS me. β€œAt least 15 Indigenous people…” NO. You mean 15 members of the Navajo Nation. Say it ACCURATELY. Because almost EVERYONE they’re deporting is Indigenous, @cnn.com. Absolute joke. And racist.

It’s OK to buy games at launch.
It’s OK to buy games on sale.
It’s OK to play games via a subscription service.
It’s OK to borrow games from your friends.

It’s not OK to shame others for how they access gaming.

Financial situations are different for everyone. Be kind about it.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Someone should create a spreadsheet of all the indie authors available on KU so folks can find them faster and easier.

Felt a migraine coming on and it is one. Sucks ass having these. This one is stress induced I know. This feels like the longest week of my life.
All I wanna do is curl under the blankets, blast angst emo music, and read the smuttiest books ever.

Authors should have 3 letters ready to go right now:

1. A letter of support to send to teachers and librarians who are fighting for our books
2. A letter to the school/library board condemning book bans/promoting freedom to read
3. A letter to the editor promoting the freedom to read

I'm also going to be a historian by also documenting all of events as well.
I do also suggest getting access to as many library cards and supporting libraries. Collecting "banned" books as well as any books that are to be considered "banned".
